We're on a RP server and staff is saying that PG should be allowed in this instance. I think any time you can RP you should. That's what we're all here for, isn't it? If someone that's downed refused the search, they'd be in violation of PG rule. Why are people so against what this is supposed to be about? +1 for suggestion, but senior mods and senior support have made it clear that this isn't against the rules.

Plea bargaining doesn't require a judge or jury, that's why this would work. Only the most severe of penalties would be eligible for a court case. I keep hearing that this is being worked on though, but can never get any confirmation.

Other player(s) involved: @Architer @MiniM4N
Specific rule(s) broken:
14. Deathmatch (DM)
Deathmatching is the act of attacking a player or their property without a proper roleplay reason.
Examples of valid reasons to attack another player:
• If they attempt to arrest or hurt you, an ally, or damage your property.
• If they report you to the police for a serious crime.
• If they are not in compliance with demands, attempt to escape, or call other players for help in a situation where they are required to display fear under fear roleplay rules.
A player cannot kill their victim if the victim is in compliance with the demands.
A player must allow their victim enough time to comply with the demands.
If a player informs you that your VOIP isn’t working, you must either fix your VOIP using appropriate commands or use text to deliver your demand(s).
Vehicles cannot be used to attack another player more than once including a failed attempt.
Attacking another player with no engagement in roleplay is not allowed.
Killing a player that has obeyed all orders and demands during a roleplay situation is allowed, with roleplay, only within 3 hours of:
Severe hostile or criminal action is taken against you, e.g. someone is robbing you at gunpoint. (Excluding police aiming a gun at you.)
Someone is attempting to take your life.
Someone is attempting to take the life of your close friend or ally, or if you have witnessed it happen.
You must explain your reason to kill to the player IC and have OOC evidence proving your reason.
How did the player break the rule(s)?
Players 95 and 165 began shooting with no RP whatsoever. No demands were given, they just started shooting. Causing the tagged individuals as well as myself to be downed. Then we were subsequently killed. I was looking away and did not see anyone pointing a gun at me, I just saw Klaus ID 178 get a gun out and start saying "Get over here Alex" Which prompted me to pull my weapon out and look at who was firing and then open fire. This could've been a good scene, but they chose to go with hands up this is hrob instead of actually trying to RP. Very disappointing.
Evidence of rule breach:

If you're going to complain about it, why not think of ways to not get caught instead. Those same people that you are committing crime against have lives as well and with crim rp where it was, this was needed for balance. I've got a crim character and have been to prison. Sometimes you lose. Make an alt and play on that if you don't want to sit in jail. There's many other solutions that you are ignoring in favor of having your cake and eat it too.

Currently there are two mechanic shops in the city and with the re- introduction of boats, the only way to upgrade them requires a moderator+ to tp the boat and player to one of the mechanics. Why not have 1 or 2 marine mechanics specifically to fix the marine vehicles and remove the need for staff involvement. These would be placed on water so there's no tp requirement. This would help make it more realistic than the current system and more immersive.
